It's about time. He comes around again.
Blue Moon overhead. The Carolina winds
are changing hot to cool, and I'm still in the mood
for three day weekend nights, sloe gin and fireflies
with you here by my side, it's about time.
September laughs and shrugs. Says put away your dreams.
There's room under the rug, or in the kitchen sink.
You've grown old but not up, haven't you learned my love?
To remember is to hurt, to let go is just too much, but it's about time
You bring your sleeping bag, your suitcase full of books,
your notes from on the train, where they gave you dirty looks.
Unpack your dandelions, diaries and songs, some nights are meant for this,
before everything goes wrong. And it's about time.
I tried to make a wish on a meteor, I think.
It crashed and burned I know, but turned the whole sky pink.
So that's the scene I kept, and hid inside my brain, let your voice
narrate the part that said everything's ok. Cause it's about time.
